The Red Virgin

The Red Virgin is conceived and educated by her mother Aurora to be the woman of the future, becoming one of the most brilliant minds in Spain in the 1930s and one of Europe's leading referents on female sexuality. At 18, Hildegart begins to experience freedom and meets Abel Velilla, who helps her to explore a new emotional world, and to break away from her mother's iron nest. Aurora fears losing control over her daughter, and does everything she can to prevent Hildegart from moving away. The two women clash on a summer night in 1933 putting an end to the "Hildegart Project".
